Take a Breath (Take 1) (20 page)

 
 “I think we need to play this thing out and see what
happens.  Matthew isn’t even back yet so we shall see.  Was
it the same dream?”  

 
  I nod my head and try not to let the barrage of tears
threatening to come at any moment, start up again.  Jake throws
his arms around me and I nuzzle my head in his chest.  I take a
deep breath in and relish in his aroma.  He smells
wonderful.  I could stay like this forever.  We break free of
each other and he looks at me.

   “Are you better now?  I want to bring some coffee and toast up.”  

    I nod and he heads for the stairs. 

I
get up and go to the bathroom and put my hair up again.  I rush
down towards my room and shudder when I walk into it.  I look
toward my pillow and I can’t help but cringe at the thought that he had
his hands on it.  Suddenly this room doesn’t feel as welcoming as
it used to.  Knowing that this psychopath has been in my room and
maybe looked through my things makes me feel sick to the stomach. 
I quickly go through my drawers and pick out a tank top and boxer
shorts and slip them on.  I then grab my phone by my bedside as I
had left it in there again.  Three missed calls and two text
messages, all from Jessie badgering me into answering my phone and
calling me everything under the sun.  I decide I can’t avoid her
forever and give her a call.  I walk back in to Jake’s room and
dial her number.  After two rings she answers.  

   “Where have you been you little bitch, I’ve been worried about you?”  

 
  I start laughing, typical Jessie.  “I’m fine, sorry I
didn’t realise you rang or text.  I’ve been a little preoccupied
the last couple of days.”  

 
  She snorts, “So I’ve heard.  Tom sent me a cryptic message
saying he knows you’re not gay anymore, what the fuck’s he talking
about Ana?”  She gasps, “No, you’re not shagging Tom are
you?  Have a little more respect for yourself than that. 
Michael yes, but not Tom.  Or is it Michael?”  

 
  I had to stop her twenty questions, “Jessie, stop talking. 
I’m not how you say, shagging Tom or Michael.  Tom’s a little shit
for blabbing anything to you but you’re my friend and I wanted to wait
until tomorrow before I spilled everything.  I can trust you can’t
I Jessie.”  

 
  She huffs but sounds excited, “Of course you can baby girl, what
do you take me for?  Now come on spill the beans.”  

 
  I take a deep breath, “I know I wouldn’t be able to hide this
from you, but something happened between Jake and I and now we’re, well
we’re.  I don’t know what we are but I haven’t left his bedroom
since Friday night.”  I heard the gasp and the squeals of
excitement through the phone.  

 
 “Ana, you’ve been holding out on me girl.  Now tell me, what
is he like in bed?  I imagine him being quite the animal, is he an
animal?”  

 
  I start laughing and Jake enters the room.  I stop suddenly
and go bright red and Jake smiles knowingly.  “Erm, yes and
yes.”  I don’t know what else to say.  

    Jessie squeals again, “Is he there with you?”  

    I scratch my head, “Yes Jessie.”  She makes a disappointing sound through her teeth.

 
 “Well, I guess I will have to wait until tomorrow then, but you
have to spill all to me then ok?  Oh and by the way how comes Tom
knows about this before me?”  

 
  Oh shit, good and valid question.  I was hoping she
wouldn’t pick up on that.  “Look Jessie it’s complicated, I’ll see
you tomorrow and please remember what I said, it’s so important. 
I will explain all to you then, but you must promise me Jessie.” 
She promises she will and we say our goodbyes as we hang up. 

Jake
has brought a tray of coffee and toast with Juice and all smells
wonderful.  He pours me a cup and hands me over the mug. 
“That smells divine, thank you.”  He smiles and pours himself a
coffee and gets buttering the toast and hands me a slice. 

   “I take it that was Jessie wanting all the gossip?”  

 
  I wince slightly embarrassed.  “Yes, I hope you don’t mind,
she said she wouldn’t tell anyone and she is the closest friend I’ve
got.”  

 
  He shakes his head, “Look Ana, I’m not judging you, I let it be
known to Mike, Tom and Michael, who am I to say who you can and can’t
tell?”  

    I take a bite of the toast realising just how hungry I am.  

 
 “My only concern for you is what this fucker wants with you and
catching him as soon as possible before he hurts any more women. 
He needs to be locked up now; it’s been going on too long.”  

    I finish my toast quickly and he butters me another.

   “You’re starving yourself also Ana and it’s no good, you need to eat.”  

 
  I sigh realising he’s right but also noting how much has
happened in the last 48hrs that’s been taking over.  I take a sip
of my coffee and put it down.  “Yes caveman Jake, I will be sure
to take heed of your advice.”  I smile at him and he smiles back.

   “Are you being cheeky with me again Miss Sinclair?”  

 
  I gasp, “Heavens no, I wouldn’t dream of it.”  He places
the tray on the floor and edges closer to me.  

   “Do you realise just how damn sexy you look right now?”  

 
  He’s practically purring the words out and the fire between my
legs ignite.  I take in the last bit of toast and watch as his
eyes bury deep into me.  My god he is sex on legs, hot as hell,
hunk of a man.  How would I ever say no to anything he asks
me?  

    He edges closer still and leans towards my ear, “Ana, you’re going to have to get naked for me now.”  

 
  He nibbles on my ear and I moan in pleasure.  I jolt up,
quickly relieve myself of my clothes and climb on top of him. 
Jake looks beyond shocked at how quickly I’ve succumbed to his
will.  I find his mouth and how sweet he tastes and how warm he
feels.  I grab at his shirt as I pull it over his head.  Jake
tries to lift me up but I stop him, “Jake please let me do this.” 
I nibble at his ear and he shudders.  I push him down and pull his
shorts off.  I’m greeted with his throbbing cock and it looks as
good to eat.  I climb back up and I place my head down on his cock
and start licking.  

   “Oh fuck, Ana that feels so good.”  

 
  His breathing becomes erratic which sets my breathing
faster.  Knowing how turned on he is now is making me feel so wet
and ready for him.  His pleasure is my pleasure.  I lick down
his shaft and come back up to tease the tip, he sucks in a breath
through his teeth.  I gently push my head down as I lick around
with my tongue.  I come back up and push down again and Jake
stiffens.  He grabs the back of my head and it spurs me on moving
quicker and quicker, licking and sucking.  I could go on and on
but he stops me.

 
 “No, Ana, I don’t want to come in your mouth, no matter how good
that feels.  Fuck, what are you doing to me?  Come
here.”  

    I look at him as he grabs my arm, “Up to me please.”  

 
  He wiggles his finger as I edge towards him.  I’m thinking
he wants me to get on top of his cock but he pulls me further
up.  

   “I need to taste that sweet pussy of yours.  Come here.”  

 
  I edge closer not sure what to do with myself.  I’ve never
had this done to me before.  As I near to his lips he grabs my
nipples and gently squeezes.  I moan out.  

   “Sweet Ana, always ready for me, always so ready for my touch.”  

 
  He pulls me down further to him and starts to gently lick the
tip of my clit.  I spasm and grab the headboard.  Such a
weird, but oh so wonderful sensation like this.  He grabs my
bottom and pushes me deeper into him as he licks around my clit. 
I pull at the headboard and my nails dig in as I give in to this
wonderful feeling building inside me.  He grabs at one of my
breasts and starts fondling my nipple and it sends me into
overdrive.  I push my head back and let the ecstasy take
control.  My legs start to tremble and I stiffen as an impending
orgasm is about to take over.  Jake stops and demands I get on
top.  I do so without hesitation.  I want him inside me as
much as I need fresh air.  I grab his cock and ease the tip into
me.  He feels so good.  I quickly start a rhythm as I climb
up and down and Jake starts squeezing my nipples again.  

   “God, you’re so beautiful Ana and mine all mine.  Your sweet pussy is mine, no one else’s.”  

 
  I cry out yes and throw my head back awaiting the climax about
to rise at any moment. The sensations I feel as I am pounding on top of
him are building and building right through my legs up towards my very
core as my whole body tingles in anticipation.  I let out a big
moan that I can’t help escape, as I know I’m about to fall apart at any
moment.  

   “Fuck, Ana, you must come for me baby, now.”  

 
  I scream and fall apart as my pussy throbs on every part of his
magnificent cock, squeezing him into me more and more.  Jake
shouts out and pulls me down on him hard as he climaxes inside
me.  I feel the pleasant hot cum spraying into me as he throbs
every last morsel out.  I drop down to his chest and we’re both
heaving as I feel his chest rise and fall and his heart beating
rapidly.  

 
 “You’re going to kill me Ana at this rate.  I don’t know how
much more I can produce but you have me wanting you over and
over.  I don’t want to stop.  How am I going to cope at work
tomorrow?”  

 
  I ease myself up and look at him, “I’m sure we can find some
way.”  I smile and place a finger on his bare chest making
circular movements as I give him a cheeky grin.  He stares at me
like he’s about to abolish me.  

   “Ana, that is one place we cannot do it, no matter how much I will want to.  Big no, no.”  

 
  I pout at him, “Spoil sport.”  He laughs at me as I get off
him.  The loss unwelcome, but I have to get out of bed at some
point this weekend.  He slaps my bum and I jerk up.  “Hey,
what was that for?”  

    He chuckles, “I can’t resist that perfectly rounded little ass of yours.”  

    He pulls me down to him for a cuddle and we lay there a few minutes enjoying each other.

When
the time unfortunately came to 12:30pm we had to admit defeat and get
up to get ready.  “What time is Matthew due back?”  Jake
walks towards the shower and turns the water on.  

   “About 2:30, I think he said.”  

 
  We get under the spray together and have heaps of fun washing
and lathering each other up.  Jake leaves me when he is done and I
finish off washing my hair. 

When
I eventually surface from the bathroom Jake is already drying himself
off and getting his clothes on.  I put a towel around me and head
for my room.  I get to the doorway and shudder again.  I’m
going to have to get over this, I’m being too silly.  

   “You’re finding this more difficult than you’re letting on.”  

    I jump out of my skin and turn to find Jake in the hallway staring at me.  

 
 “Ana, you can’t keep things bottled up; if you want to talk tell
me, that’s what I’m here for.  You find that your room has been
violated, so of course you’re going to find it strange and
unnerving."  

 
  He comes over and gives me a bear hug, which I accept
willingly.  He kisses the top of my head and we go into my room
together.  

   "Maybe we should move a few things over to my room.  Things you need, essentials.”  

 
  I walk over to my closet and pull out another summer dress,
something light and easy to wear in this heat.  “Jake, I’m fine,
honestly, don’t fuss.  I’m ok.”  He waits for me as I go into
my bathroom and brush my teeth and comb my hair.  I grab a bra and
knickers and proceed with getting dressed.  “Are you enjoying the
view Mr Bennett?”  I smirk.  

   “Always enjoying the view whenever you’re concerned Miss Sinclair and oh what a view it is.”  

    I giggle and run to the bathroom to put on a bit of makeup on and dry my hair. 

By
the time I’m done it is well after 1 o’clock so we make our way
downstairs to the kitchen.  Jake starts washing all the dishes
from breakfast and I grab two of an apple, orange and banana and start
making a bit of a fruit salad for both of us.  I’m still hungry
from earlier and keen to get some of my five a day down me.  We
sit in silence holding hands for a while enjoying the tender moment
between us, when we hear the sound of the door being opened and a voice
cry out.  

   “Hey Dad, Ana, anyone home?”  

 
  Jake shouts that we’re in the kitchen and I free my hand from
him.  Matthew comes marching in looking pleased and plonks himself
on the chair placing his bags on the floor.  

 
 “What’s with the squad car out front, have you been very naughty
Ana?”  He laughs and Jake turns to Matthew.  He sees the
seriousness in his face and quickly stops.  “What’s wrong is
someone hurt, what happened?”  

 
  I can see the panic in his face and place my hand on his,
“Everything is fine, we’re all ok.  We just had an incident on
Saturday morning, but we’re dealing with it.”  Jake proceeded to
tell him what bits he needed to know about what went down and Matthew’s
face was shocked looking at me then to his dad.  We both tried our
hardest to let him know all was ok, but he still looked at me with sad
eyes.  “Matthew, I’m fine, honest.  I have the best of the
best looking after me.”  Jake walked over in my direction and put
an arm around me.
